Tuesday Morning
February 24th, 2009
Drove around this morning, as did several others...... Seas 14-17ft today, had high winds and rain all night and today SW winds 35+mph. At least there is no ice...... Didn't find anywhere that was decent..... one spot was a "maybe, if I hadn't surfed in weeks"....... but then the color of the water was a turnoff........ Rest of the week..... Looks like W swell 8ft dropping to 7ft by Friday and Saturday, with W winds turning SE on friday and saturday....... so..... get over this damn head cold quick...... might find some waves this week...... weekend starting to look fun.....
mini rant: Heard and read some comments on the 60 yr old guy who got rescued friday night..... mostly pretty arrogant comments...... my take; anyone who has surfed for alot of years , has had their "moments".... luckily none of mine required rescueing, but a couple, I wished there might have been..... worse one I can remember was at Kahuku point on the north shore of Oahu..... lots of scrapes and coral cuts climbing out of that little mess..... maybe I am a bit more understanding, especially since I am much closer to this guys age than most of yours..... I know this guy, nice guy, and I only wish him the best........ maybe when some of the "kids" running off at the mouth get to our age, they might understand a bit more..... but then, I hope they make it to our age.........
